Push notifications

Question

Guest Janner

Is anybody else receiving push notifications on their mobile informing them that a particular stock/commodity/index is up by x%?

 

I am not aware that I asked for this information and am finding it very irritating (as well as using my data allowance). 

 

I have opted in to push notifications for when positions I have set up are automatically opened or closed and for price alerts that I have set up for myself. 

 

I accept some people may welcome this service but not all of us do.  Anyone know how to turn this annoying new "advice service" off?!!

hi Janner - go to "my account" tab and select "settings" from the options in the window that displays. The second heading under "settings" is "notifications" - if you click there it brings up your preferences, just "un tick" the boxes you don't want. When finished, remember to click the green "set preferences" box

 

Happy days

Hi,

 

This is a new type of push notification we have been working on, which alerts you if a market in your watchlist has moved a certain threshold, with a maximum of one alert per week overall. We actually have disabled them for the moment as there were some functionality issues which we're currently making improvements to. You will always be able to manage your notification settings through the platform and I will pass on all your feedback comments to our team developing these notifications.

Hi,

Could someone give me a steer how you turn these notifications off on the IG iPhone app - I can't seem to locate the right screen on the latest app.  I just want notifications for alerts that I manually set and not random alerts (i.e. for major moves up or down on a market that may or may not be on one of my watchlists).


Thanks

I've the same problem, I receive these annoying alerts every time a certain market is up/down by a certain % and I want to be notified only when positions are automatically opened.

I asked for IG support and they answered to check all those settings I've already checked and disabled on both old/new platform, without success:

Account –› Settings –› Notifications

Calendar –› MacroEconomic events

 

I then asked if those alerts are related to the markets that are on my watchlist

and I got an other vague and pointless answer:

It's not possible to target alerts better.

 

So what's the point of those alerts?

The obvious answer at this point would be:

to encourage clients to operate more!

    • WTI Elliott wave analysis  Function - Counter-trend  Mode - Corrective  Structure - Zigzag  Position - Wave (iii) of 1 Direction - Wave (iii) of 1 still in play Details - We discussed two scenarios in the last update. After 84 was breached, we can confirm wave (B) has ended. Now we need further confirmation with the current decline ending impulse. With the speed of this decline, it will most likely be, barring any surprises. Thus, the bearish impulse for wave 1 is underway.   WTI has undergone a notable decline of almost 7% since reaching its 2024 peak in August. This descent appears rapid and impulsive, suggesting the possible conclusion of the four-month bullish correction or perhaps a corrective phase within it. The former scenario seems more plausible, especially when considering the alignment with price movements on higher time frames. From a long-term perspective, the commodity is in the process of correcting the significant impulse wave from April 2020 to March 2022, which marked its resilience against the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This correction commenced in March 2022 and is still ongoing, with projections indicating a potential further decline to the range of $46-50.   Analyzing the daily chart, we can discern the entirety of the correction, identifying a double zigzag structure denoted as the blue wave W-X-Y. Waves W and X concluded at 64.5 and 95, respectively. Currently, wave Y (marked in blue circles) is unfolding downward, displaying a zigzag pattern. Wave (A) of Y terminated at 67.81, followed by a surge for wave (B), seemingly completing a double zigzag at 87.67. This implies the likelihood of witnessing another zigzag or double zigzag for (C) of blue Y, indicating a probable breach of the 64.5 low in the long term. Failure to do so may still result in at least a three-wave dip to 75. Moving forward, the focus will be on monitoring the ongoing bearish reaction, with close attention paid to developments on the H4 chart.   Turning to the H4 chart, anticipation centers on a downward impulse to complete wave 1 or A, possibly even to fulfill the initial sub-waves of 1 or A. The specific degree of these waves may not hold significant relevance at this juncture; instead, the emphasis lies on the current price structure. Should the price conform to the expected bearish impulse, a subsequent corrective bounce is anticipated, offering a potentially favorable entry point for selling. As long as the price remains below 87.63, expectations lean towards further declines in the near term.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!

Wave Cancel invalid level: 0.85001                 The EUR/GBP Elliott Wave Analysis for the day chart provides a comprehensive overview of the potential price movements for the Euro against the British Pound, utilizing Elliott Wave principles for technical analysis.   Identified as a "Counter Trend," the analysis indicates that the current market direction opposes the prevailing trend. This suggests that the EUR/GBP pair may be undergoing a temporary corrective phase, providing opportunities for traders who anticipate a reversal in the broader trend.   Described as "Corrective" in mode, the analysis suggests that the ongoing market movement exhibits characteristics of a corrective wave. This implies that the current price action may represent a temporary retracement or consolidation within the larger trend, rather than a continuation of the primary trend.   The "STRUCTURE" is labeled as "red wave B," providing clarity on the current phase of the Elliott Wave cycle. This helps traders understand the nature of the corrective movement and its potential implications for future price action.   Positioned as "blue wave X," the analysis highlights the specific phase of the Elliott Wave cycle within the current corrective movement. This indicates that the market is 2 / 2 currently in a corrective phase following the completion of a previous wave cycle, potentially indicating a complex correction pattern.   In the "DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES" section, the analysis mentions "red wave C of X," suggesting the anticipated direction for the subsequent higher-degree wave within the Elliott Wave cycle. This implies that the market may experience another corrective phase following the completion of the current corrective wave, providing insights into potential future price movements.   The "DETAILS" section notes that "red wave b of blue wave X looking still is in play as a triangle." This suggests that the ongoing corrective wave may be taking the form of a triangle pattern, characterized by overlapping price movements and diminishing volatility. Additionally, the wave cancel level is identified at 0.85001, providing a reference point for invalidating the wave count. Traders can utilize this information to evaluate potential trading opportunities and manage risk effectively.         EURGBP Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     Euro/British Pound(EURGBP) 4 Hour Chart   EURGBP Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Counter Trend                           MODE:Corrective                           STRUCTURE: red wave B                           POSITION: blue wave X                         DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES:red wave C of X                           DETAILS: red wave b of blue wave X looking still is in play as a triangle .
